A Start and a Story

I deceided to show you a preview, currently I am cross-stitching a card for someone that came in World of Cross Stitch number 214. So far all you can see is a bird and some scattered brown dots.
And I do not have to justify small starts like this because cards are always allowed, so there!

I haven't really much to show for the past few days, we have been on a couple of walks, trips to the store, done some housework.

Oh, and Mimle almost died.

Silly bunny ate pellets yesterday and almost choked on them. She is a ravenous little bunny who loves food. Honestly sometimes I think she thinks she is a hamster the way she stuffs her cheeks full without chewing. Anyway she was munching away on a really big pile of pellets stuffed in her mouth when I saw she was having trouble, she started to spit the pellets out and I saw her looking like someone who wanted to throw up. I knew something was wrong and went to put her up to perform the bunny heimlich , but before I could reach her she shot under the sofa. Boyfriend helped me to get her out from under there and I studied her in my arms. She seemed fine, she breathed normal and her lips and nose looked a healthy pink. I opened her mouth and saw only teeth so I assumed she was ok for now. 

I studied her for a few more minutes where she was back to eating hay with pellets in between, (as opposed to before where she was munching them up from the floor without chewing).

I called the emergency vet who said that since she could breathe and was not yet dead she was most likely fine. If there was something unthawed in her belly it would be pellets and easily digested so I was not to worry. He also told me what to do if it happened again.

Mimle is on a no pellet diet for a while now, and minimal treats too, because she has apparently not learnt her lesson and eats treats with the same vigor and no thought to chewing.

And just to be on the safe side, she will soon go to her annual vet appointment and I will have them look at her teeth thoroughly, just in case…

Stupid bunny, I think my pulse has barely gotten stable.

Spider Story Tuesday

Today as I was home alone waiting for boyfriend to come home I saw something at the corner of my eye. It was a H U G E spider walking carefully on the wall behind my computer. Usually in those times I yell for boyfriend to come take it away. I don't really like bugs when they are walking so randomly inside my house. You never know where they might turn up next unless you help them outside again. Boyfriend ofcourse could not help me, and I had to watch the spider crawl sideways behind my bookcase. A while later while I was still trying to concentrate (even if I failed), the little guy (or rather big girl) was walking significally lower on the wall the opposite way. Towards me. I hastily retracted my legs and hoped it would go away. And as soon as it did I hid on the sofa waiting for boyfriend. But now that boyfriend is home I have no idea where the spider is.... I am just hoping he is eating all the other nasty bugs.......

Oh, yeah. Today is Tuesday Tunes and now that we have finished with the scary story (hope you can still sleep, I know I can't in fear of the spider coming back). Here is this weeks song:

I was out buying black clothes for the funeral yesterday with my friend and I found I was continuously singing bits and pieces from this song.

And then I had an epiphany, within my family and friends there seems everyone has some sort of eating issues, like allergies and selective eating, so I have decided that when I get married (and don't worry, he has not proposed so swallow your tea nicely) we will have a barbecue. Then people can eat what they want and that they know is safe and we can enjoy making delicious food outside, and then the smalltalk that NT people insist on can commence. I think it was a marvelous idea, and boyfriend agreed. Too bad the weather in Norway never agrees with you when you have outside plans, then it always rains.
But if it does those people have more things to talk about whilst hiding under cover and eating their burnt hot dogs.

A bunny story

So, a little update. I have not been stitching much lately as I find it hard to concentrate. 

But this little guy is halfway there now. :) And even if his eyes are not completely done he has lost his creepiness that he had before the pinks and browns were filled in. :)

Tomorrow is WiSP Sunday, so Henry and Fred have to continue sitting in the backseat while my Secret Project Number Two take the front-seat, with maybe this guy next to it.

Another small distraction lately, is the spring. (It is not summer until June). I have been busy with my bunny-slave duties and procuring dandelion and drying for the queen. She herself was busy outside glancing over her kingdom and not getting her paws in the grass. Unless ofcourse she had to go and nibble a bit on it, then she forgot how much she hated the grass.

We saw quite a few happy-bounces today. And more annoyed back feet- flicks. Because obviously the grass was being obscene. 

Since we are renting she only has a non-permanent outside pen. And it does take quite a while to set up.

Other news. Yesterday we woke up by the sound of tiny paws pitter-patting under the bed. Little Houdini here had managed to pull her pen-doors sideways a little bit so that she could squeeze out and come and wake us up. Because obviously we had not given her adequate breakfast in time. The horror, having to wake up her own slaves to get any breakfast, says bunny. I still think she is a bit miffed about that actually. Boy, can she hold a grudge. She still flees at the sight (or rather smell) of carrots because she used to get carrots at grooming sessions, it's been six months since we stopped that but she has still not forgiven us for turning her once favorite treat into a trap.
